The curious case of Andrade

[soul_survivor]

So, what's been happening with this guy? He won the WBO world title in 2014 and since then has fought twice at a lower level of comp. Why?

The guy is 29 yet and has only taken steps vack instead of stepping up.

Been wondering this myself.

Remember watching him beat Brian Rose on HBO, was really impressed.

Only seen bits and piece of fights since.

Really disappointed in how in-active he's been.

[Rip Chudd]

He's been managed horribly. For some odd reason within the last year he re-signed with the same horrible management

[-PBP-]

I want to be a fan of the guy but he needs to get his **** together outside of the ring.

[soul_survivor]

Yeah, watching him against Rose (only the second time I'd seen him) I was relaly impressed. Far more impressed than I was by the Charlos at that point. Andrade wasnt just skilled he was big and strong too and had a fighters mentality. Your hurt? He will hurt you some more.

The problem is, while the others progressed, Andrade regressed. Why cant his management get him better fights?

[Eff Pandas]

He's clearly highly skilled & arguably the best guy in his division, but he's also the dumbest top ten caliber guy who I've heard talk & I listen to a lot of fighter interviews & podcasts with fighters on them. So expecting this guy to make good decisions outside the ring with his career is like expecting a turtle to dunk a basketball.

If boxing worked like most other sports with the best competing against the best on a regular basis Andrade might be a superstar by now.

Bad management and career decisions.. too many stretches of inactivit..

Canelo, ggg, wilder, Joshua all have become major stars, mostly because they stay active and fighting, building their brand name

His best win is mediocre vanes...

I have neevr heard him talk. What has he said that makes him sound so stupid?

And your point is?

[Prince Madison]

i really rate him but theres no reason for him to be at 154, its a graveyard there and hes a big guy. Should get himself to 160. Out of all the guys hes got the best chance of beating golovkin.
